‘Yellowjackets’ Adds Jason Ritter for Season 2

ByJules December 21, 2022December 20, 2022

In another intriguing addition to an ever-growing cast, Jason Ritter will join Yellowjackets season 2! He will appear in one episode of the new season, with no word yet on who he is set to play or whether his path will cross with adult Shauna, who is played by his real-life wife, Melanie Lynskey. The two previously costarred in Hulu’s series Candy together earlier this year. Variety exclusively reported the news. Ritter cryptically teased fans via social media, which should only cause more spiraling among the show’s theory-obsessed fanbase.

Yellowjackets returns on March 26 at 9 p.m. ET on Showtime. Showtime subscribers will get the episode early via streaming on March 24. You can check out our other coverage of the series here!
